Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

Outstandingly simple

I've had Starling for 15months now and can't imagine life without it, so simple to navigate and use and with Spaces I can put money aside knowing that my account balance is always up to date with exactly the amount I have available. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Whats not to like

My title says it all, a very responsive and responsible bank, which provides me with confidence my money is being managed effectively. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Straightforward excellence

I left my previous Bank after over 20 years not because I was dissatisfied with service but because their ethical position was inconsistent with what I believe to be important. But once I moved I realised how much better a bank can be. The first time I shared a bill with a friend I was amazed how simple it was. I love that I can easily see my spending and analyse it. Reminders are useful and messages pertinent. And they aren't constantly trying to sell me things I don't want. Very glad I switched. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Simple and instant

Great to see everything instantly. Really good customer service. The only thing that has ever not worked is the nearby payment which failed to recognise two accounts on my wi-fi. No real convenience as payment made by internet banking which is almost as easy. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
